Lei Huang 168d14b143 [PowerPC] Reduce register pressure by not materializing a constant just for use as an index register for X-Form loads/stores.
For this example:
float test (int *arr) {
    return arr[2];
}

We currently generate the following code:
  li r4, 8
  lxsiwax f0, r3, r4
  xscvsxdsp f1, f0

With this patch, we will now generate:
  addi r3, r3, 8
  lxsiwax f0, 0, r3
  xscvsxdsp f1, f0
